AuthorTopic: Vector Live = Wrong Screen Resolution (Read 12006 times)

I just installed Vector Live to a USB flash drive, but when i boot it, the resolution is wrong. I tried the window manager's settings but what i need is not available. The resolution i need is 1280 by 768 ( widescreen ). What do i do, edit xorg.conf?

hi gacl, looks like nobody noticed your post . I guess editing xorg is the best. Find the section with the resolutions, and be sure to add your desired resolution on the first place on each depth, or just in your default depth, if you are tired Should be something like:

Depth 24Modes "1280x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

You will be using this always in the same computer?

Yes you could do that, but adding 1280 to the boot line should fix it, there are also option like "changes=/dev/device" that will keep all changes you make between boots you could even add packages and save documents & user settings that way
